The argument of the .lxxxij. psalme.
¶ The prophete admonisheth all iudges and magistrates of their duetie, saying that God
sitteth in the midst of them. He reproueth them for vniust iudgementes, and exhorteth
them to do iustice, yea vnto the poore, vnto wydowes, and to the fatherlesse: for
they must dye and make accompt of their doynges as well as other, howe great in aucthoritie
soeuer they be. Therfore considering the great iniquitie commonly of iudges
and magistrates, he humbly desireth God him selfe to minister iustice here in earth.
¶2; A psalme note of Asaph.
A
1 noteGod standeth in the note
congregation of God:
he iudgeth in the midst
of God.
2 Howe long wyll ye
geue wrong iudgement:
and note accept the
persons of the vngodly? Selah.
3 Iudge ryght vnto the poore and fatherlesse:
dispatch according to iustice
suche as be afflicted and in necessitie.
4 Deliuer the poore and outcast: saue
them from the hande of the vngodly.
5 They knowe nothyng, they vnderstande
nothing: they walke on styll in
darknesse, [wherfore] all the foundations
of the earth be note out of course.
6 I haue sayde ye are gods: and ye all
are chyldren of the most highest.
7 But ye shall dye lyke as a man [doth:]
and princes them selues shall fall away
lyke as other [do.]
8 Arise O God, and iudge thou the
earth: for thou shalt take all Heathen
to thine inheritaunce.

Euening prayer.
